My name is Nelson and I'm Portuguese. I'm a Linux enthusiast and I joined Fedora [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Marketing Team], where I've been learning lots of things in several fields.

Some of my hobbies (past and recent):

−

* Warhammer 40.000 - A loyalist and fan of [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Codex_Astartes Codex Astartes]; a [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Black_Templar Black Templar] by nature, who loves to defy the Codex.

* I've tried to my best to keep the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines Fedora Logo Guidelines]. I've used the designated logo font, MgOpen Modata (package: mgopen-modata-fonts), but somehow it seems a bit different from the SVG logo's around.
